Artie needs to go to inpatient treatment now! For at least 60 days. If not I'm afraid Artie will be dead by Christmas. Howard should put his foot down and tell Artie has only two choices, treatment or getting fired. He should have and intervention show and have all the staff members come in and give their reasons to Artie on why he needs treatment. Robin, Howard, Gary, Fred, JD, even Richard and everyone else should talk, I hope (and believe) that they truly care about him. If they do they should do this. No jokes, no funny buisiness, Artie truly needs help or he will die soon. Fingers crossed here. I don't pray much, but I will try to pray for him. Artie is too good a person to leave us this soon.![]()
an intervention at artie's work leads to a chase through back yards, into grocery stores where he throws fruit at his pursuing coworkers, and culminates in him trying to deck a cop (read the book). point being that you cant force him to get help. he has opportunities every day and passes them up. he won't get real help until something very bad happens to him (or someone close to him) or he dies.
Maybe someone could rat him out and get him arrested. I don't normally believe in that, but in this case maybe something that drastic needs to be done. Artie has been on a downward spiral for years, but it seems it's much worse and getting faster now. I think Artie hates himself and is trying to self-destruct to avoid actual suicide. I know, I've been there. He's too afraid to kill himself, but if it's an accident then it's ok. It's really sad to see someone do this right in front of you and can't do a fucking thing about it.
Yeah, I can totally see a cop from Jersey going over to Artie's house to search his house for drugs. Could you imagine the backlash that the Jersey shore would wage upon the NJPD?
Everyone will coddle Artie into his grave.
Too bad that Howard had to protect the baby and attack robin calling her an "Artie expert".
